Spatial variations in dissolved inorganic nutrients in the groundwaters along the Indian coast and their export to adjacent coastal waters
(Springer, 2021)
Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is one of the main external nutrient sources to the coastal waters. The concentrations of nutrients in groundwaters are a few folds higher than that of adjacent coastal waters; therefore, ...
Elevated acidification rates due to deposition of atmospheric pollutants in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(AGU Wiley, 2021)
Human inputs of pollutants to the atmosphere and subsequent deposition may decrease pH in the coastal waters. Significant rate of decrease in pH and increase in pCO2 by 3-5 times is noticed in the coastal Bay of Bengal ...
Temporal variations in the chemical composition of aerosols over the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)
Variations in source, ionic composition and carbonaceous components of aerosols are expected in the atmosphere due to reversing the direction of winds from winter to summer over the coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB). To examine ...
Acidification of the coastal Bay of Bengal by aerosols deposition
(Springer, 2021)
Polluted aerosol transport from South Asia containing oxides of nitrogen and sulphur and their deposition on surface may acidify coastal waters. To test this hypothesis, we have conducted experiments involving (a) variability ...
Nitrogen fixation in the western coastal Bay of Bengal: Controlling factors and contribution to primary production
(Elsevier, 2022)
N2 fixation rates were measured at 18 stations in the western coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB) to evaluate its contribution to the external source of nitrogen and its controlling factors. During the study period (fall monsoon), ...
Impact of atmospheric anthropogenic nitrogen on new production in the northern Indian Ocean: Constrained based on satellite aerosol optical depth and particulate nitrogen levels
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
Aerosols are one of the significant external sources of soluble reactive nitrogen to the surface ocean and their deposition affects the primary productivity.Owing to rapid industrialization over South and Southeast Asia, ...
